    Politics isn’t a one dimensional spectrum. We use terms like left, right, and center. But that ignores other directions like up and down, forward and back.

    Forward doesn’t mean center. Open primaries for example. Both Republicans and Democrats fight against them. Are open primaries Left or Right? Or something else?

    The truth is neither of our parties are responsive to the people. Democrats proved it in the last nomination, basically ignoring anyone that wasn’t Biden/Harris. Republicans are proving it now, in their refusal to do town halls. Supporting a party that’s literally being built to respond bottom up, rather than top down; And isn’t beholden to the traditional media driven, overly simplistic “Left” “Right” duopoly, can only be a good thing.
